I'm working with what I have, so absent the ability to magic up some Go-Ferm, DAP, and Fermaid-K so that I can use the weights and measures provided by other sources, I would like to know (if anyone knows) what's actually in Brewcraft Nutrient as opposed to Brewcraft Energizer.
There's no list of ingredients, no information available on the Brewcraft site that I could find, and no one else seems to have asked this question elsewhere, at least not in a web-searchable form.
This will be the first time I'll be doing periodic aeration and nutrient additions, but without knowing what the heck is in these two products I've got no idea how to mix them for addition. My father-in-law is interested in the process of meadmaking and I wanted to pitch while he's here, so I can't wait for shipping and this Brewcraft stuff is all I can find locally.
As well, if anyone happens to know, are there negative consequences for beginning a fermentation with too much yeast? I'm going to be using a stir-plate starter and I've heard that the yeast count is astronomically improved over a standard 'shake-it-when-you-walk-by' yeast starter.
Thanks in advance.
